Oligohydramnios - what does this mean
Oligohydramnios is a condition in which there is a decreased amount of amniotic fluid in the amniotic sac. it can be caused by a variety of factors, including premature rupture of membranes, placental insufficiency, maternal medical conditions, and fetal anomalies. it can lead to complications such as intrauterine growth restriction and umbilical cord compression.
What happens during the disease - oligohydramnios
Oligohydramnios is a condition in which there is an abnormally low amount of amniotic fluid in the uterus. this can occur due to a variety of causes, including decreased fetal urine production, decreased fetal swallowing, placental insufficiency, maternal dehydration, and certain maternal medical conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. the lack of amniotic fluid can lead to decreased fetal movement, increased risk of umbilical cord compression, and decreased fetal lung development, all of which can lead to adverse outcomes for the fetus.
